Crises strike without warning - cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, ransomware incidents - and rarely follow planned scenarios. Manufacturing powers economies, sustains communities and underpins national security, making it a prime target for adversaries. When attacks hit, cascading consequences affect millions beyond corporate walls.

Drawing on FBI counterterrorism experience and homeland security leadership, this session explores how leaders can transform crisis into competitive strength. Effective crisis leadership isn't built on technology alone - it's built on trust, practiced decision-making and values-driven clarity under pressure.

The session will cover:

• How to build cross-functional resilience through realistic crisis simulations;
• Prioritizing transparent communication when information moves faster than command chains;
• Embedding values and partnerships as foundational pillars before storms strike.
